1¢ SPECIALTY MFG. SLEEPIN' SAM VENDING MACHINE
C. 1927. Specialty Manufacturing, Chicago IL. A very rare vending machine with built in game play. Deposit 1¢ and a gumball is released into the pin-field. Using your other hand, you guide the figure to catch the gumball, where his eyes will move and he will stick out his tongue and you will get the gumball. However, if you miss the gumball, you still get it, making this strictly a vending machine. To date, we have not seen another.
